Horoscope by Patrick Arundell

From small beginnings new growth becomes possible, as a potent lunar phase can see you planting a seed that might flourish – if given the right attention. It is worth considering what areas of life you'd like to improve. With a New Moon in your sign, this can be a day for putting down new shoots and allowing the natural cycle of growth to begin. At the same time, you may be aware of how certain situations have reached their natural end and that it is time to let go, Taurus. You may feel excited about the possibilities that a friendship holds, whether it is a new connection or someone you have known for some time. A spark can be kindled or rekindled. You may feel the benefit from taking up a practice such as yoga or meditation. Today’s New Moon in your sector of friendship can encourage you to nurture your more cherished connections and to reestablish contact with those whom you might not have seen in a while. This might also be the perfect time to resolve a lingering issue. Smaller personal goals as well as bigger projects or a career move can receive a boost from the current stellar picture. And even with planetary delays, it is still worth doing what you can to further your progress. An idea that catches your attention could sink into fertile soil and take root over coming weeks, and might lead you to following a new path that proves very satisfying. Yet, you may be aware that you need to let go of patterns of belief that no longer serve you, Virgo. While areas of your life may be on the verge of change, you may want to move things along a bit. Whatever you are keen to accomplish, especially in the area of relationships, this needs to be done in stages.

A desire to cement a relationship or to go out on a limb to make someone feel special and appreciated could ring in a new beginning for you both. This decision could follow a snag or difficulty that may have seemed to call this bond into question. A New Moon can be a call to pick out one task or goal and to focus on this. What you choose could be equally important, as this can be an opportunity to build something that contributes to

your wellbeing. Allowing yourself a deeper experience of the world of your senses could leave you feeling more alive and joyful. Today’s line-up hints that immersing yourself in small pleasures can act as a restorative. Attending to any pot plants, window boxes or to your garden, if you have one, can allow you to appreciate the beauty of nature and the cycle of growth. And contemplating this could enable you to understand how this applies to your own life. A conversation could be the starting point that nets you a new friend or allows for an opportunity to show up. If a chat registers excitement and seems to open up new possibilities, then consider acting on this, as it can be a positive beginning.
